British fleet, battleship Bolland of the third rank.

British Vice Admiral Richard in the captain's room was also in a very unhappy mood at this time.

A few days ago, he invited Qi Shan to visit the military exercises of the British army, which really scared him on the spot, and verbally agreed to all the terms of the "Piercing Treaty." But when it really came time for both parties to stamp and take effect, this guy regretted it a little. He said that he would go back to Humen to discuss with other ministers.

Richard naturally knew that it was nonsense, so with the authorization of the commander-in-chief of the British army, Yilu, he sent some British ships to attack yesterday (the seventh day of January). wants to take the first line of defense of Humen Fortress - Dajiao Shajiao Fort in one fell swoop, so as to force and intimidate Qi Shan into submission.

Of course, in fact, in the real history that has not been influenced by Zao Wou-shuang, the ending is indeed like this.

But now, it's different!

Not only did the British army not take advantage, but also lost a lot of ships and naval soldiers in vain. This made Richard very angry in his heart, so he ordered the whole army to go out, and it was necessary to give the Humen garrison a thunderous blow to force Qishan to submit!

The mighty fleet was about to approach the mouth of the Pearl River, and the Qing warships that had already set up a line there to meet the enemy kicked off the battle......

In Humen Town, the Governor's Mansion of Liangguang.

In the delicate courtyard, two people are sitting opposite each other, playing Go.

It turned out to be Qi Shan and a middle-aged scribe.

The middle-aged scribe was white-faced and beardless, looking quite elegant, and he was smiling and putting down a chess piece: "Lord Qincha, you lost." Admit. ”

Sure enough, he put down this chess piece, and immediately killed Qi Shan. There is no chance of a comeback.

After staring at the chessboard for a while, Qi Shancai sighed and said, "Xie Lingqing, you won." It's just that I still don't understand to this day, since you have the talent to govern the world, and last year's scientific examination was the first in Guangdong, and when you wait for the palace exam, you must be the top three in high school. Why did you vote for these thieves who pretended to be ghosts? Do you think that just one Guangdong sailor and the Humen garrison can have an impact on the imperial court? When the White Lotus Sect was at its peak, it was so powerful, didn't I suppress it in the Qing Dynasty? ”

It turned out that this middle-aged scribe was called Xie Lingqing. It was a talent that Zhao Wushuang was looking for during this time.

It is said that "the son is silent, and the strange force is confused". But once a reader sees the real strange power and chaos, I am afraid that the inner fluctuations are even greater than ordinary people! In short, after a long night of talking and getting along, Xie Lingqing joined Zhao Wushuang's Dragon God Sect. Serve as an oracle.

In fact, as early as half a month ago, Chen Liansheng and the others met the staff member sent by Lord Longshen personally from Yutai Town. When I heard that the other party was the first in Guangdong in the imperial examination, I was a little surprised - to be honest, the current Dragon God Sect still has some unsatisfactory tables, and most of the recruits are generals in the army or ordinary people with a relatively low level of knowledge. This kind of scholar, especially Xie Lingqing, who still has real talent and learning, is even more rare.

However, after confirming the Dragon God Sect token, they no longer doubted it - Lord Dragon God naturally had his own judgment. Xie Lingqing's mission was to act as an intermediary after Chen Liansheng and Lin Zexu, Guan Tianpei and others launched a coup and put Qi Shan and others under house arrest, to instruct Qi Shan and others how to report to the imperial court......

Xie Lingqing smiled slightly, staring at Qi Shan with burning eyes: "Does Lord Qincha read history?" If you read it, then you should be impressed by Shi Kefa."

Scofa!

Qi Shan's eyes flashed, and his gaze became a little sharp as he looked at Xie Lingqing.

Xie Lingqing just took a sip of tea indifferently: "In April of the first year of Hongguang of the Ming Dynasty (the second year of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty, 1645), many Duo soldiers besieged Yangzhou, and Shi Kefa, the secretary of the military department, wrote four suicide notes in the West Gate Tower of Yangzhou, vowing to defend the city to the death. On May 25, the city of Yangzhou was broken, and the Qing soldiers slaughtered and plundered, and the knife was not sealed for 10 days. ”

Qi Shan's expression changed, and he stood up with a swish, knocking over the tea on the chessboard: "What do you want to say!" ”

Xie Lingqing's voice and expression began to become cold, but he still continued: "The Qing soldiers slaughtered the city for ten days, and the prosperous Yangzhou City for several generations piled up corpses, piled up corpses, pillowed hands and feet, blood entered the water and blue ochre, turned into five colors, and the pond was flat!" and back and forth, left and right, burning everywhere; The city was littered with corpses. Except for a few residents of Yangzhou who escaped before the city was broken and a few who survived after the Qing army entered the city, almost all of them were slaughtered, and more than 800,000 corpses were collected by monks alone. 800,000, does Lord Chincha know what the corpses of 800,000 civilians look like when they are piled up? ”

At this time, Qi Shan's face was already gray, he seemed to think of something, his lips moved, and he said with difficulty: "But this is war, and there are no immortals in war." When I was in the early Ming Dynasty, didn't I try my best to oppress my ancestors of the Qing Dynasty? ”

Xie Lingqing stared at Qi Shan's eyes: "You're right, as long as it's a war, there will be deaths, and many people will die." But when did I ever slaughter such barbarians? Maybe it's just that there is not, so let you wait for the Qing demon to run rampant in Shenzhou! The ancestor of the family is Shi Kefa's staff and a witness to the Ten Days Massacre in Yangzhou. After surviving by luck, he came to Guangdong incognito and has been inherited to this day. ”

The descendants of Scofa's staff? A witness to the Yangzhou Ten Day Massacre?!

Qi Shan was stunned, but after a while, he sneered again and sneered: "Then you still participate in my scientific examination in the Qing Dynasty?" ”

Xie Lingqing smiled, and smiled a little weirdly: "That's right." If I hadn't met Lord Ryujin, I would have entered the court as an official. If I were an official, guess what I would do? And there are not many people like me, but there are not many of them......"

Qi Shan seemed to suddenly understand something, and he was suddenly shocked, and his face became extremely frightened. Stretched out his hand and pointed at Xie Lingqing: "You, you...... You rebels! ”

Xie Lingqing drank tea calmly: "Don't be impatient, my lord." Yesterday, the army under the control of my Dragon God Sect won the first battle against the English Kingdom, and the memora transcribed by you personally is still on the way to Beijing. Speaking of which, aren't you doing things that are not good for you for your own life? Behold, we will win the great battle with England today! ”

Qi Shan fell silent and stopped talking......

And almost at the same time, in Yutai Town, Guangzhou, in a secret workshop in the camp of the Guangzhou Naval Division.

A large number of blacksmiths are working desperately, and the molten iron and the scorching furnace will shine together, and there is a beauty of strength!

This secret manufacturing workshop was personally ordered to be built by an envoy sent by Lord Ryujin not long ago, and a lot of skilled craftsmen were mobilized to enter it. Their mission is to create a set of steel armor that has never been seen before before as quickly as possible!!

This set of steel armor is huge.

The total height requirement is about two meters, three or four, and it should be built with thousands of catties of high-quality steel.

The torso should be strong and heavy, and the limbs should be structurally flexible, with sharp spikes and blades added to the wrists, elbows and knees, and heels.

The huge helmet was hideous and ferocious, and the top gradually turned into a sharp steel horn, just like the one on the top of the dragon's head!

(Guess what the steel armor was made of by the craftsmen in the end?) Hey hey~ There's another chapter in the evening! ）
